Green Buckeye Certification: Students, faculty, and staff have a significant influence on sustainable practices at The Ohio State University through every day activities in their respective environment. The intent of the Green Buckeye Certification (GBC) program is to inform and encourage implementation of best practices to improve the sustainability performance of campus offices and laboratories.

Due to the resource intensity of the vast number of offices and more than 3,000 laboratories throughout the university, this program includes resource (energy, water, etc.) conservation education, recycling and waste reduction, energy efficiency, green purchasing and health and wellness. By becoming Green Buckeye Certified, we demonstrate leadership and commitment to Ohio State's sustainability goals.
